Symbolism

The star is one of the multi-valued symbols. In its most general form, a star symbolizes high aspirations, dreams or ideals. What it represents largely depends on the shape of the star. For example, an inverted star is a symbol of the Church of Satan, and the six-pointed Star of David is considered a talisman.

Stars have always been considered something magical, mysterious and beautiful. They light the way and point the direction. Someone is lucky to be born under a lucky star. Some people rush to make a wish when they see a shooting star, others like to just look at them at night in clear weather. All people on Earth are familiar with this symbol. Maybe that’s why many people want to make their own little star of happiness, because it’s so beautiful. Now we will try to make a happy star from plain paper.

To work, we need a strip of paper and a little time. In our case, the size will be 1x23 cm. Of course, you can take a strip of any size, but the ratio of length to width should remain the same 1:23 each time. To find out what size star you can get from any strip of paper, you need to multiply its width by 1.67. For example, from a sheet of A4 paper, taking into account the ratio 1x23, it is convenient to cut strips measuring 1.2x27.6 cm. From such strips you can make a star measuring 2 cm.

And so, we begin to fold the star. Wrap the end of the paper strip around your index finger and tie a knot. You need to tighten it and press it so that you get a small figure of an equilateral pentagon.

You need to try to ensure that after tying the knot there is a very small end of the strip left. If this cannot be done, it is better to cut it off or bend it back.

Next, we begin to wrap our pentagonal star in a circle with the long end of the strip, bending it each time along the line of the edge of the figure. With each fold, the strip itself will lie on the next edge on which it needs to be folded.

After 10 similar folds, a short piece of strip should remain. It can be hidden in a nearby “pocket”. The result should be a pentagonal flat figure.

Now you need to try to make the figure three-dimensional. To do this, each edge needs to be slightly pressed inward with your fingers, while simultaneously pulling out the corners. Since the star is very small, you need to be especially careful so as not to accidentally damage it.

If you did everything correctly, then your lucky star should look like this.

Don't be upset if something went wrong and the star didn't work out the first time. Try to start again and for sure this time you will succeed! And when you learn how to do them, it will seem to you that nothing could be simpler.

As a rule, the older a person gets, the more nostalgic he begins to remember his childhood years. For many adults today, this time is permeated with Soviet symbols, among which red stars can be noted.

In this master class I will show several options on how to make a paper star with your own hands with step-by-step photographs. This five-pointed symbol may still be relevant today. For example, a red star is perfect for decorating a New Year's interior. It is not difficult to make it from paper, focusing on the proposed master classes.

01. DIY voluminous paper star

To create a three-dimensional star, we will need to prepare:

• red paper;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• ruler;
• PVA glue.

First, cut out 5 squares of the same size from red paper.

Our blanks have a side of 9 cm.

After this, you can begin to add each square. First we make a diagonal fold.

Then we unfold the square blank. Fold the right side towards the middle.

A similar fold should be made on the left side.

Now we need to make bends in the upper part of our workpiece. First we bend the right side.

After this, we make a fold on the left side. Our blank took the shape of a rhombus.

Fold it in half.

The top layer needs to be folded to the side.

In this case, you should pay attention to the fact that on the reverse side the vertex of the triangle coincides with the fold line.

Unfold the workpiece slightly.

Smooth the fold lines.

Now we begin to straighten one of the rays of the future star.

Carefully straighten its inner layer.

Now we give the workpiece the following appearance. We have an element consisting of one whole beam and a half.

We need to make 4 more such blanks.

You can start assembling the star, and for this you will need glue. Apply it to one half of the beam.

After that we insert one element into another.

So we connected 2 modules.

We glue the remaining elements together in a similar way. Our volumetric paper star is ready.

02. How to make a star using modular origami technique

The modular origami technique allows you to create three-dimensional figures using identical elements. Our master class presents the step-by-step production of a star from several modules.

To work you will need 10 square sheets of paper. We took red writing sheets.

We start by making one module. For it we need two sheets. First we bend them along two diagonals. Now these same sheets of paper should be bent in transverse directions, but in the other direction.

From one we fold the workpiece in the form of a double square.

From another sheet of paper with pre-designated folds, we fold the workpiece in the form of a double triangle.

Now we insert the triangle inside the square.

We bend the protruding ends from the square inward. First we do this from two opposite sides.

Then we unfold the module blank and bend the protruding corners again. This is how we got one of the modules.

We need to make 4 more such modules for the future star. Let's start connecting the modules. They will be attached to each other due to the corners protruding on the sides.

Two corners of one piece should be inserted under the folds of the other from the inside.

We insert the corners of the other module from the outside under the folds of the adjacent one.

So we continue to connect the individual modules.

We close all 5 elements into a ring.

You can leave the origami star as is, or you can slightly raise its upper part.

03. Volume star made of paper for a postcard

On a white sheet, draw a star stencil, as in the photo, and prepare a sheet of red cardboard.

Cut it out.

Bend the workpiece - all the short strips are bent inward, and the long strips are bent outward. Glue it to the base. This way you can make a three-dimensional star for a postcard for February 23 or May 9.

How to make a five-pointed star out of paper video tutorial

Stars have always played an important role in our lives. Stars give light, warmth, show direction. Some are born under a lucky star, some make a wish when the star falls, some worship them, and some simply admire them on dark nights. We are all, in fact, children of the stars, because without them we would not exist... This symbol can be found everywhere on Earth. That is why, and also because it is simply beautiful, we will make stars of happiness out of paper.

For this we need strips of paper and a little time. The size of the strips is 1 cm x 23 cm or other sizes with a similar width to length ratio (1:23). Of course, the width can be greater, for example, if you use A4 paper, then with a strip length of 297 mm, its width can be made 11-12 mm.

To determine the size of the future star, you need to multiply the width of the strip of paper by 1.67.

Here are some ready-made calculations (width | length | star size):

• 1,0 | 23,0 | 1,67
• 1,1 | 25,3 | 1,84
• 1,2 | 27,6 | 2,00
• 1,5 | 34,5 | 2,50

Making a star

1-4. Bend a strip of paper around your finger and thread the tip of the paper into the resulting loop. We carefully tighten the resulting knot so that we get a neat pentagon.

5. It is advisable that the tip does not extend beyond the pentagon at all, but if this happens, then simply bend it in the opposite direction (step 5). And it’s even easier - cut off the excess)))

6-8. With the free end of the strip we begin to wrap the pentagon in a circle, in total you should wrap it 10 times in this way.

9-11. If the tip remains, you need to bend it (or cut off the excess) and hide it.

12. Here we have a blank star.

13, 14. Holding the workpiece, press the edge of the star with your fingernail, pressing it inward.

We repeat similarly with the remaining faces. Here you need to act especially carefully so as not to spoil the star.

And now our star of happiness is ready!

In addition, stars of happiness are a very elegant accessory for your home.
Stars are with us everywhere. A star is always relevant: on New Year’s Day you can see it on the top of the tree, a star from the sky can be taken out for your loved one on Day
Valentine's Day, stars are strongly associated with Defenders' Day
Fatherland. They also say that when a new person is born, in heaven
a new star is lighting up, why not light a small star in honor
newborn on a card (and give it to the happy parents)? Star
can be a guide, give it to people going on a trip,
a star so that their path will be illuminated and good luck will accompany them.
The stars accompany us throughout our lives. Do you know how to make stars with your own hands?

What will we make it from?

To make such stars you can use special paper:

But my goal was to recycle unnecessary waste paper in the form
old glossy magazines. So I cut the magazines into strips.
The size of the strips is 29x1.1cm. You can cut the strips wider, but then the length
there should be more. I tried to choose pages with brighter
paint and less text, but I think from black and white stripes too
you will get original stars.

Looking ahead a little, I will say that the stage of cutting strips is the most difficult in making stars. If you have a cutter or shredder,
cutting paper into longitudinal strips is simply wonderful.
Then this stage is much simpler and faster. I have it at hand
I didn't have these tools, so I cut strips first
scissors, which is very labor-intensive and not very neat. And then me
It dawned on me that I could simplify the process if I used a ruler and
stationery knife... And things went much faster.

How will we do it?

1) Take a strip of paper and make a loop.
2) Then we wrap the short ponytail, making a knot.
3) Very carefully tighten the knot and press it. You should get an equilateral pentagon.

4) We wrap the tail on the reverse side. I did it on purpose
the tail is a little longer so that the photo shows where we wrapped it.
But it’s better to try to make it shorter so that it doesn’t peek out.
limits of the pentagon.

5) Next, turn the product over.
6) If the tip is longer than the resulting pentagon and looks beyond its limits, tuck the tail a little.
7) Hide the tail inside the pentagon.

8-17) And now we begin to wrap a pentagon with a long strip
all sides, trying not to press it too hard. Total should
you will get at least 10 wraps, i.e. each edge needs to be wrapped
twice. This should be taken into account if you change the thickness and length
stripes. With a width of 1.1 cm and a length of 29 cm, the star is 1.5 cm.

18) We hide the tip under the strip. If it peeks out, we tuck it a little and then hide it.

19) Now is the most crucial moment! It is at this stage that I
it turned out to be a marriage. We hold the pentagon with two fingers of one hand, and with the nail
with the other hand we press on one side of the pentagon, trying to get into
the middle of the edge. We do the same with the remaining faces.
20) That's it! Our little star of happiness is ready!

I want to warn you: you may not get a star the first time. I have from
The first ten stars were four defective. But then, when
I got the hang of it, everything went like clockwork. And I was so fascinated by this activity!
I cut the strips in advance and spun the stars anywhere: TV
I look and scroll, I sit at the computer, wait for the page to load and
cool, and even on the playground my daughter plays in the sandbox, and I
I sit on a bench and spin stars.

So far I have made 250 of them, but I think I won’t stop there.

Application These stars can be used to make an original gift, for example, for Valentine's Day:
You can decorate the interior of a room by pouring stars into a jar:

And my little daughter really liked these stars. She them
compresses, making it flat. This is great for developing fine motor skills. Yes
and it’s just very interesting to play with them, fingering them. Can
come up with a lot of games with the participation of such stars. For example, teach
colors, placing each color in different jars. Or offer a series
stars are the same color, and one star is of a different color. And offer to find
"white crow" Or make a rainbow out of them... In general, there may be some ideas
weight.

What other stars can be made from paper? These little stars are an excellent material for creating gifts and for interior decoration. But there are still many variations of stars that can be made from paper.
